What is the major difference between Substage 2 (first habits and primary circular reactions) and Substage 3 (secondary circular reactions) of Piaget's sensorimotor period?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
• During Substage 2, the infant begins to coordinate separate actions into a single, integrated action.
• During Substage 3, infants take major strides in shifting their cognitive horizons beyond themselves.
• The major difference between the two stages is whether the infant's activity is focused on the infant and involves his/her body, or involves actions related to the outside world.
